Abstract
WT is a 19-year-old male who presents to the emergency department via EMS complaining of severe shoulder pain after a high-speed motorcycle accident in which he was the helmeted driver. He denies any loss of consciousness. On primary survey, he demonstrates a GCS (Glascow Coma Score) of 15, a patent airway, and is hemodynamically stable. On secondary survey, he demonstrates severe pain with passive range of motion of the right shoulder, but his exam is otherwise negative.
